CEDAR RAPIDS — A man who distributed several pounds of ice methamphetamine while in and out of state prison was sentenced Thursday to over 10 years in federal prison.

Duane Baker, 28, of New Hartford, pleaded guilty Oct. 29 to conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine by a convicted drug felon.

According to evidence, Baker, while in state prison for felony methamphetamine charges, became involved in a conspiracy to distribute ice methamphetamine. He recruited the mother of his child to sell the meth on his behalf. Once he was released, he continued the conspiracy and ultimately distributed over 5 pounds of ice methamphetamine.

U.S. District Chief Judge Leonard Strand sentenced Baker to 131 months in prison. He was also ordered to serve eight years of supervised release following his prison time.

Baker is being held in the U.S. Marshal’s Service until he can be taken to a federal prison.
